How to make Raspberry Kuchen

Prepare the Dough

  2. Step 2

    Pre-bake the dough in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes.

Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix the plain yogurt with the sweetened condensed milk until well combined.

  2. Step 2

    Gently fold in the raspberries.

Assemble and Bake
